DFT B3LYP/LANL2DZ method was employed to calculate electron properties and the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) respond of platinum (II) complexes which have been synthesized by Weinstein group. 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline shows the ability to push electron in these complexes. Metal Pt plays a balancing charge role. Comparing complex 1b-6b with complex a, the β vec value of complex 1b-5b is larger than one of complex a, while the β vec value of complex 6b is smaller than one of complex a. In these seven complexes, the β vec values of complexes increase with decreasing of the energy difference between HOMO and LUMO. Moreover, the electron transfers from deeper layer occupied orbitals to empty orbitals have a distinct contribution to second-order NLO coefficient.Pt (II) complex, DFT, chromophore, second-order NLO property
